Update on RV-15 Wing Kit Deliveries
As builders, we’ve all felt that sensation of simply moving too fast. “One more row of rivets before dinner time, I can do it.” That’s when pushing harder actually makes you go slower, a frustrating experience to say the least. If you were an observer at Van’s for the last few months, and in...

Anti-Chafing Recommendation?
Hi, I'm going through my new-to-me RV-8A. I found a couple of areas under the rear seat where there is metal-on-metal chafing. I'd like to put something between the seat and the floor to prevent the chafing. I could use something like gorilla tape, but I'm wondering if there is something...

Cowl Fit issues
At the risk of making a fool of myself (doesn't take much), I am running into a problem which hopefully is user error. Has anyone else after cutting top and bottom front cowl to the scribe lines seen that they are not the same size in order to form a smooth fit? This is for the EXP119 engine...

Old primer and how to proceed.
I’m about ready to start painting the interior. Previous builder primed the parts as he built back in the 1990s but I don’t know what he used. Can I degrease and scuff the existing primed surfaces and paint over it or does it need a fresh coat of primer? Planning on using SW Jetflex.

Guidance Needed for Serious Hangar Rash
Unfortunately, after 14 years of trouble- and largely maintenance-free flying, my RV-9 got some serious hangar rash a couple days ago. Long story short, my hangar mate pushed my plane out to get her plane out, got it out on the apron, then for some reason got into her truck forgetting my plane...
